| abstract | - The Borozdinovskaya operation was an infamous cleansing raid (zachiska, ) by the ethnic Chechen unit Battalion Vostok of the Spetsnaz of GRU on the ethnic minority village of Borozdinovskaya in Chechnya near the border with the republic of Dagestan on June 4, 2005. Borozdinovskaya is a predominantly ethnic-Avar (a Dagestani ethnic group) village in the Shelkovsky District of Chechnya. Its population in early 2005 was over 1,000 people. The 'sweep operation' took place after "a series of murders and armed attacks" in and around the village in May–June 2005, including a June 3 incident in which the father of a Vostok serviceman was shot and killed. The raid prompted a mass exodus of almost the entire population of the village and contributed to a political standoff in both Chechnya and Dagestan. As a result, even some representatives of the Russian federal authorities—usually reluctant to denounce abuses by their forces—expressed outrage over the incident.
